hi again,

Its "ask basic questions" day for me.

When looking for something to help repair a broken plastic part on a snow scoop (the Californians are asking, what the hell is a snow scoop?) I fished around in old junk in our garage and found a can of this, would have been from previous owners and so goes back probably 20 yrs.
It smells like the stuff in patch repair kits, looks like it and even acts like it. Is there any reason this isnt the same stuff we have in those itsy bitsy tubes that come in patch kits? I get maybe a flat a year and usually patch them without issues, but if this stuff is the same, I will use it when patching at home instead of opening a new tube which will then be suspect because they always dry out afterwards, especially given I dont get flats that often.

Given the fact that every year or two I end up having to buy a new patch kit or two just to get some more glue tubes after the others have dried out, I have lots of patches, and I keep some old tubes around for using the rubber, so I guess I just need to try a patch with this stuff and see how it works.

cheers
